Does anybody make shims for a Wilson seater die ??

 

[rayjay]

Yes. All the BR specialty suppliers have them.

They are called Skip's Machine Die Shims; page 60 in Sinclair catalog

Skip's are not for Wilson seater dies.

Just remember that the seater die shims work backwards from sizing die shims. It's amazing the mistakes you can make in the heat of a match.

Mason, gunamonth is correct, sorry alf, I have several sets of skips shims and they fit my wilson seaters perfectly, The important thing is they are made of metal and cannot be compressed, therefore very true. I highly recommend them, a very good value in todays economy.

Skip Otto passed away 3 or 4 years ago. Tom Libby handled the sale and distribution of his machine shop items for Skip's wife, Bobby. I'm not sure who is making the shims or anything else that Skip had so cleverly made and marketed.
